Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

A quality characteristic of a product is normally distributed with mean μ and standard deviation σ = 1. Speci- fications on the characteristic are 6≤x≤8. A unit that falls within specifications on this quality characteristic results in a profit of Co. However, if x 8, the profit is -C2. Find the value ofμ that maximizes the expected profit.

A) The output voltage of a power supply is normally distributed with mean 5 V and standard deviation 0.02 V. If the lower and upper specifications for voltage are 4.95 V and 5.05 V, respectively, what is the probability that a power supply selected at random conform to the specifications on voltage? B) Continuation of A. Reconsider the power supply manufacturing process in A. Suppose We wanted to improve the process. Can shifting the mean reduce the number of nonconforming units produced? How much would the process variability need to be reduced in order to have all but one out of 1000 units conform to the specifications?
